Proceeding contribution from William Bain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.

Scotland Bill

I entirely agree with the right hon. and learned Gentleman. One of the strengths of the devolution settlement is that it allows a court of the seniority of the Supreme Court to make these determinations. It would have been wholly irresponsible to remove these basic protections from people in criminal cases in the way that other politicians in the Scottish Parliament sought to achieve. We are content with the amendments that have been made by the Lords and we will support them in the Chamber today. Lords amendment 9 agreed to. Lords amendments 10 and 11 agreed to.
